A Roundup of November Restaurant Openings and Closures

As Angelenos tweet about the "freezing" cold 60-degree weather, some restaurants are keeping their seats warm for the holidays and others aren't keeping them at all.

Ice cream shops are on the rise with Scoops arriving to the Westside and L.A. Creamery opening in Canoga Park. "Thank God it's been busy," said the owner of Ice N Cream in the Westside Pavilion on Black Friday. Last year during this time it was a different story, she added.
